CBD has become a big buzz word in the wellness world, as a salve for everything from anxiety to gut issues to period pain. But what is it and how does it actually work? In today's episode, I'm joined by Chloe Weber, a trained herbalist, acupuncturist and founder of Radical Roots, which combines the power of Chinese herbs with full spectrum hemp.

Chloe got into the world of hemp because of her son Remy, who has been using various CBD formulas to ease a neurological condition. She's a wealth of knowledge about how the endocannabinoid system works, what deliveries best serve digestive disorders, and how to use both hemp and cannabis as part of your SIBO plant medicine cabinet.

If you've been wondering whether hemp-based extracts are worth all the anti-inflammatory hype, this episode has so many incredible takeaways!

A quick taste of what we'll cover:

The difference between CBD and THC
How to use CBD and THC to treat anxiety, insomnia, SIBO, neurological issues and epilepsy
The best formulas and delivery methods for gut health
Why smoking hemp or cannabis might be a better choice in certain situations than taking an oil or edible
Product terminology to beware of and what you want to see on a package to ensure its therapeutic grade and not snake oil
And so much more...
